"Really?" Hongshi was dubious about this. Based on his understanding of Fuzhou at this time, unless tens of thousands of troops were sent there, he really didn't know where to start talking about safety.
Yunhu and Yan said: "How could Uncle Eight lie to you? Besides, this trip to Fuzhou may not be an opportunity for you. Think about it, the emperor has said that as long as the two of you complete your errand, each of you will be granted a title.
Prince. When the late emperor was still alive, there were so many elder brothers, but only a few were named princes. Once you are named a prince, you will be much closer to the position of prince."
Hongshi was just happy for a while, then he said discouragedly: "But I'm not the only one who can be crowned prince, so what's the use."
Yunhu smiled slightly and said: "Has the second elder brother forgotten why we turned Fuzhou into what it is now? As long as the fourth elder brother goes to Fuzhou, there is absolutely no reason to come back."
These words made Hongshi's eyes light up, and he pawed his hands and said, "Yeah, how could I have forgotten this matter, Hongli..." He smiled sinisterly and said, "I will make sure that he never comes back."
"This is natural, and if Hongli dies, you will be the first to help with the disaster. The emperor will not only make you a prince, but may even directly make you a prince." In Hongshi's excited expression, his expression changed.
Ning, then said: "But this time, the emperor will definitely send many people to follow him secretly, so the matter of dealing with the fourth brother must be carefully planned, without making any mistakes, otherwise it will be a big disaster for you and me.
Disaster."
As soon as he said this, Hongshi became nervous, nodded repeatedly and said: "Uncle Eighth is right, and there are so many people following me. It's difficult to attack just by the people around me."
"You don't have to worry about this. I have some loyal men around me who can be temporarily assigned to you when the time comes. Firstly, to protect your safety, and secondly, to provide you with people you can use."
Yunhu's words made Hongshi overjoyed. What he was most worried about now was his safety in Fuzhou. It was a good thing to have one more person around him.
"We must wait for the Ministry of Revenue to collect food before going to Fuzhou. There will definitely be a few days of preparation. During this period, you can also discuss this matter with the Queen. The Queen's family is one of the most powerful families in the court, and the people under her command are extraordinary.
There are so many soldiers, just look at how they can scuttle those two batches of grain ships without anyone noticing. If we can send some to accompany them, then Second Brother will be safer."
Hongshi was very touched by Yunhu's concern, "Uncle Eighth is so considerate of me, I really don't know what to say. Originally, Uncle Eighth should have done the boat-cutting thing, but because of the Queen...
…”
Yunhu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Since you and I are uncles and nephews, we must not say such unreasonable words. Remember, no matter what the Queen says, it is all for your own good. Besides, can you send someone there?"
, I’m also more relaxed, isn’t that great?”
The more Yunhu said he didn't care, the more guilty Hongshi felt, "Uncle Eighth has treated Hongshi well, but Hongshi really can't repay him."
Yunsu said disapprovingly: "I told you not to say such unsolicited words. Anyway, how are you doing? Uncle Eighth is also happy. It just so happens that while you are here, Uncle Eighth calls all the people here for you to choose. You can take as many as you want. Anyway,
Your safety is the first priority. Uncle Eight is waiting for the plaque on your mansion to be changed to Prince's Palace, or even moved to Yuqing Palace."
"Thank you, Eighth Uncle, for your kind words." Hongshi knew that what Yunhu had done would definitely be good, so he said happily: "Then I won't be polite."
While Hongshi and Yunzhen were having a secret conversation in Prince Lian's Mansion, Yunxiang also came to the South Study. As soon as he entered, Yinzhen said: "I guessed that you would definitely come to see me after you go to court."
Yunxiang's health was really bad, and he would cough a few times. After sitting down with the hand of the young eunuch, he took a breath and said: "Your Majesty can guess that I'm here, and you should also be able to guess why I'm here."
.”
Yinzhen put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Is my guess right about Hongshi and Hongli going to Fuzhou?"
"Excuse me, brother, I have only four elder brothers under you. The only ones who are adults are the second elder brother and the fourth elder brother. Your Majesty, please send them both to Fuzhou now. What will happen if something happens?"
Next, Yunxiang couldn't help but cough again. He wanted to take a sip of tea, but he also coughed up the tea.
Yinzhen walked down quickly, caressed Yunxiang's back just like he did in the court, and said to Sixi: "Go and call the imperial doctor quickly."
Yunxiang quickly grabbed Yinzhen's arm and said reluctantly: "No... no need, brother Chen... brother Chen is fine."
Yinzhen was not willing to listen to him and said: "See you can't even speak well and you still say it's okay. Sixi, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and tell the imperial doctor."
After coughing for a long time, he finally felt better. Yunxiang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's really unnecessary. This is my old problem. Even if the imperial doctor comes, it will be useless."
Seeing Yunxiang's persistence, Yinzhen had no choice but to give up, but the worry on his brows lingered, "Oh, how can I rest assured with your body and bones?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although my brother's body is a bit weak, nothing will happen to him for a while." This time, after drinking the tea, Yunxiang felt better and said, "Your Majesty hasn't answered my brother yet."
Regarding the matter of elder brother and fourth elder brother, those thousand sergeants sound like a lot, but when it comes to Fuzhou... I’m afraid I can’t even trust the safety of second elder brother and the others.”
Yinzhen's eyes flashed slightly as he watched the palace servants fill up Yunxiang's tea cup and said slowly: "You are wrong. There were not a thousand sergeants escorting them along the way, but five thousand."
"Five thousand?" Under Yunxiang's surprised gaze, Yinzhen walked slowly to the window and said: "Even if you don't enter the palace, I will send you a message to come to the palace to discuss this matter. One thousand sergeants, I will be there
Choose from among the infantry yamen. As for the other four thousand, I hope to draw them from your Fengtai camp, because
I don’t want these four thousand people to be exposed to the public, but whether it is the Xiaoqi camp or the infantry yamen, they are all in the city. As long as there is the slightest movement, it will be known immediately. Only the Fengtai camp is not in the city, and you have always been in command.
, we should be able to draw out four thousand people without anyone noticing."
Yinzhen's words made Yunxiang even more puzzled. He frowned and said: "It is natural for the emperor to send people to protect the two elder brothers. Although five thousand people are a bit more, considering the current situation in Fuzhou, it is reasonable.
Why should we avoid people when it comes to things?"
"I didn't say much in the court, but in the case of Fuzhou, two batches of ships sank in succession, and no one was spared. Old Thirteen, do you really think it was a coincidence?" Yinzhen never looked back, but what he said made Yun
Xiang was stunned and asked for a long time: "Your Majesty, do you think these two shipwrecks are not a coincidence?"
